Cometic Lexus / Toyota LX-470/TUNDRA .030 inch MLS Head Gasket 98mm Right Side

This Cometic Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) head gasket is built with multiple embossed stainless steel layers, featuring Viton rubber coating on the outer layers. The compressed operating thickness is precisely 0.030 inches, and this is the right-side gasket for your engine. MLS gaskets are a solid choice for both aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-cast iron block configurations, as they can handle the shearing forces that arise from dissimilar metals. They offer increased strength and resistance to corrosion due to their layered stainless steel construction, which also allows them to rebound effectively.

The outer layers are embossed and coated on both sides with Viton, a heat-resistant fluoroelastomer material capable of withstanding temperatures up to 482 degrees Fahrenheit. This makes it well-suited for harsh sealing environments and varying load conditions. The center shim layer is uncoated stainless steel, and it's this layer that can be varied to achieve different gasket thicknesses, like the 0.030" on this particular gasket. These gaskets require no additional sealants, simplifying installation.

This gasket is designed to fit a range of Lexus and Toyota vehicles, including models like the Toyota 4Runner, Lexus LX470, and Toyota Tundra. It's a well-built component for high-output engines where reliable sealing is critical.
